Crying Lovers / self-obs

This happened a while ago, while I was in high school, so I'm not perfectly clear on the details, but I think you guys will enjoy it.

The circumstances don't matter very much, but I was very stressed out due to a school play, and took it out on a co-star. This didn't go over well with the student director, who told me she was disappointed with me (one of the things that upsets me the most) and I started crying. I found a classroom to hide in, took my glasses off, and settled in to cry myself out.

While I was alone, I was crying openly, not bothering to wipe my eyes. Tears dripped onto my lap and left little damp spots on my jeans. I'm sure my lips were curling as I sobbed, and that my face was very red.

After a while, a friend, let's call her Ellie, came in to comfort me. I started to wipe my eyes once she was there, getting my palms wet with tears and smearing the tracks across my face. When I lifted my head to look at Ellie, the tears stopped dripping into my lap and started rolling down my cheeks and neck.

I was crying very hard as she tried to calm me down with words and eventually a hug. Unfortunately, she didn't wipe or kiss my tears (I wish she had, but we didn't have that kind of relationship) but she did her best to soothe me as I sobbed.

We talked for a while, me venting to her and her reassuring me, and I had stopped crying by the time I left the classroom. My face was red and tear-streaked, so I was stopped by a few people as I started to leave and hugged. One girl that I didn't know wiped my tears with her thumb and told me I'd be okay. Not a great experience overall, but the comfort was very nice.

Wow, interesting reaction by the unknown girl, and seems you were still letting your tears fall unchecked while walking outside the classroom in order for her to wipe them. Stunning.

Very nice obs, thank you for sharing! May I ask if the tears were dripping off your chin onto your lap? Also, do you know how many tears had dripped?

I don't remember exactly how many tears dripped, but my head was bent forward, so some dripped from my eyes directly into my lap and some went down my face and off my chin.

Is it common for you strangers wiping your tears?(like that girl) how do you react when someone wipes or kisses your tears? (Do you blush, thank them for doing so).

Is there a difference in your reaction if the person taking care of your tears is close to you or an unknown?

I don't cry in front of other people a lot, and when I do I tend to be very overwhelmed, so I don't have many examples. I tend to apologize while I'm crying, especially if I don't know the person well, and thank them after they've comforted me.

I see, is there someone you usually go to comfort you when you cry?

I don't have someone to go to at the moment, no. It's unfortunate, but I don't cry often enough for it to be an issue to be alone when I do.

Sounds very tender, just the same. There's few things like wrapping a tearful person up in a warm bear hug.
